🚨 LABOUR PARTY ALERT🚨
So as the news about the appointment of @GordonNardellQC as @UKLabour's very own in house legal counsel hits the press in all the wrong ways. New blog by @mishtal has been covered on @LBC.

It's worth having a look at who elleanne green is. Who is this associate of @jeremycorbyn that set up #PalestineLive. The Facebook group he was comfortable enough in to arrange a meeting room for them. (remember that)

Well she must be a nice person, after all she's already been given legal advice by our new in house QC, and seems to be friends with ALOT of people in Labour.

So let's look at who she's not so keen on in Labour, and why. She's not a fan @lucianaberger this from 2014 looks a little mean hearted, after all this abuse did lead to people actually going to prison. Still maybe a one off....

Her sympathy towards @JohnMannMP and @stellacreasy over antisemitic abuse is also somewhat... Lacking. Still I'm sure an associate of Gordon and Jeremy must just be confused about antisemitism, after all, they've been campaigning all their lives to fight it.

Still good to know she's thinking about @RuthSmeeth in a compassionate way as she was invited to attend hearing the chakrabarti report on Antisemitism.
Yes, that one.

So maybe it's all just a big misunderstanding that she's found herself in so much trouble and up for investigation over antisemitic posts! Ones like these.
It's very difficult to spot. After all nobody ever speaks about 'Jews' in #PalestineLive...

Or do they?

(cont)

Still I'm sure it's all a big mistake. After all there is nothing wrong with questions is there? After all it's just standing up for Palestine isn't it?...

Isn't it? I mean everyone knows the daily stormer is not that bad...😕

So going back to this post. The one in @mishtal's report, I would hope @GordonNardellQC understands serious concerns that he has ALREADY advised her, and ALREADY expressed an opinion over Palestine live. Does this make him inappropriate to judge ANY cases from the report?

One for the lawyers I'd imagine.
We will be paying close attention.
